Wildland firefighters do not enjoy the cultural prestige that structural firefighters do. They do not wax their fire engines and cruise down the local parade route, lights flashing; they are not the subject of countless popular books and movies; major politicians do not honor their sacrifices on the Senate floor or from the Rose Garden; they do not have bagpipe bands, fancy equipment, enduring icons, or other signifiers of honor verifying the importance of their activity. ~ Matthew Desmond
Wildfire quotes by Matthew Desmond
In a globalized world, one application can spread like wildfire and there's only one winning company, which means you have to invest more than you've ever had. ~ Douglas Leone
Wildfire quotes by Douglas Leone
All warfare is based on deception. For years, the West hypocrisy has made the world a battlefield. The corrupt talk while our brothers and sons spill their own blood. But deceit cuts both ways. The bigger the lie, the more likely people will believe it, and when a nation cries for vengeance, the lie spreads like a wildfire. The fire builds, devouring everything in its path. Our enemies believe that they alone dictate the course of history, and all it takes is the will of a single man. ~ Vladimer Makarov
Wildfire quotes by Vladimer Makarov
I'll deal with you later. In my bed. Gwen met Markus's gaze as he spoke those words telepathically. Heat spread through her like wildfire. Biting her lower lip, she thought back to him, I look forward to it. ~ Lia Davis
Wildfire quotes by Lia Davis
Right-thinking people are not supposed to discuss any meteorological or geophysical event - a hurricane, a wildfire, a heat wave, a drought, a flood, a blizzard, a tornado, a lightning strike, an unfamiliar breeze, a strange tingling on the neck - without immediately invoking the climate crisis. It causes earthquakes, plagues and backyard gardening disappointments. Weird fungus on your tomato plants? Classic sign of global warming. ~ Joel Achenbach
Wildfire quotes by Joel Achenbach
We have at least 125 communities in Arizona at risk from wildfire, not because of review processes or litigation delays but because of a lack of federal funding on the ground to actually begin the projects. ~ Janet Napolitano
Wildfire quotes by Janet Napolitano
The death of hope begins in fury, ferocious as a wildfire. It feels uncontrollable, disastrous at first, as if it will destroy everything in the vicinity - but in the midst of the fury, I am forced to find my center. What is left when hope is gone? What is left when the source of my hope has failed? Each death of hope has been painful and costly. But in the mourning there always rises a new clarity about the world, about the Church, about myself, about God. ~ Austin Channing Brown
Wildfire quotes by Austin Channing Brown
So tell me, why would I shake hands with a wildfire when I can just sit back and watch it run out of things to consume?"
I nod and dangle the bait.
"Fire can be useful. ~ Pierce Brown
Wildfire quotes by Pierce Brown
This creative tension between wonderful and terrible is named so well by Gerard Manley Hopkins, as only poets can. Even the long title of his poem reveals his acceptance of the ever-changing flow of Heraclites and also his trust in the final outcome: "That Nature Is a Heraclitean Fire and of the Comfort of the Resurrection." Flesh fade, and mortal trash fall to the residuary worm; world's wildfire, leave but ash: In a flash, at a trumpet crash, I am all at once what Christ is, since he was what I am, and This Jack, joke, poor potsherd, patch, matchwood, immortal diamond, ~ Richard Rohr
Wildfire quotes by Richard Rohr
Ebola isn't a respiratory virus. It doesn't spread through the airborne route. So it's not likely to spread like wildfire around the world and kill tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. That's what I think of as the next big one. ~ David Quammen
Wildfire quotes by David Quammen
You are not a gentle flower who spends its whole life in a greenhouse. You are a wildfire, Lark. A wildfire. ~ Ilona Andrews
Wildfire quotes by Ilona Andrews
But, my dear friend Wildfire," said Carl Peterson laying his hand on the Indian's shoulder, "this is not a policy to live by."

"Then let it be a policy to die by," defiantly spoke the Indian. "If we cannot be free, let us die. What is life to a caged bird, threatened with death on all sides? ~ S. Alice Callahan
Wildfire quotes by S. Alice Callahan
His voice was as easy as a summer breeze, but it carried a hint of wildfire smoke. ~ Kiersten White
Wildfire quotes by Kiersten White
Once upon a time, she'd thought that was what she should want. A gentleman who told her loving things. But right now, filth was working like wildfire. ~ Roni Loren
Wildfire quotes by Roni Loren
This is the one thing I hope: that she never stopped. I hope when her body couldn't run any farther she left it behind like everything else that tried to hold her down, she floored the pedal and she went like wildfire, streamed down night freeways with both hands off the wheel and her head back screaming to the sky like a lynx, white lines and green lights whipping away into the dark, her tires inches off the ground and freedom crashing up her spine. ~ Tana French
Wildfire quotes by Tana French
A wise man did not pour wildfire on a brazier. Instead he poured a fresh cup of wine. ~ George R R Martin
Wildfire quotes by George R R Martin
She will blaze through you like a gypsy wildfire. Igniting you soul and dancing in its flames. And when she is gone, the smell of her smoke will be the only thing left to soothe you. ~ Nicole Lyons
Wildfire quotes by Nicole Lyons
The Arameans can try to blow out a few flames - and they may succeed for a time - but there is no stamping out a raging wildfire. ~ Connilyn Cossette
Wildfire quotes by Connilyn Cossette
I felt it – that magical spark that turned into a wildfire and melded people together. Time wasn't a factor. It didn't deteriorate or fade. Nor was it a physical thing you could break or a feeling you could get over. I'd found it – whatever the fuck it was – with Mira York when I was twenty-three years old. It didn't matter that our half-ass relationship had only lasted six months. It didn't even matter that she'd never felt that spark for me. It was still fucking inside me, taunting and tormenting me, craving her in any and every possible way I could have her.
And I didn't really want to ignore it at all. ~ Aly Martinez
Wildfire quotes by Aly Martinez
I told you growing starts from the inside first, honey, and in that way, you've been growing like wildfire. ~ Phoebe Stone
Wildfire quotes by Phoebe Stone
And this is how we danced: with our mothers'
white dresses spilling from our feet, late August

turning our hands dark red. And this is how we loved:
a fifth of vodka and an afternoon in the attic, your fingers

sweeping though my hair - my hair a wildfire.
We covered our ears and your father's tantrum turned

into heartbeats. When our lips touched the day closed
into a coffin. In the museum of the heart

there are two headless people building a burning house.
There was always the shotgun above the fireplace.

Always another hour to kill - only to beg some god
to give it back. If not the attic, the car. If not the car,

the dream. If not the boy, his clothes. If not alive,
put down the phone. Because the year is a distance

we've traveled in circles. Which is to say: this is how
we danced: alone in sleeping bodies. Which is to say:

This is how we loved: a knife on the tongue turning
into a tongue. ~ Ocean Vuong
Wildfire quotes by Ocean Vuong
But the community knew Blade, and everybody but us was shocked at the box office, and subsequently the DVD. That was the beginning of the DVD revolution, and Blade was just like wildfire. ~ Avi Arad
Wildfire quotes by Avi Arad
The issue of addiction has spread like wildfire and it is affecting every corner of this globe ~ Asa Don Brown
Wildfire quotes by Asa Don Brown
So, are we still on tonight? For our dinner?" I asked.
"Hell, yes. We're on for tonight. We're on for tomorrow. We're on for the foreseeable future."
. ~ Ilona Andrews
Wildfire quotes by Ilona Andrews
It was a sunrise, a kid's sight of snowfall on a school morning. Hope. That all this can turn out okay, that somehow a tide this big and black can be turned back. Hope like a wildfire, thoughts of presents under a Christmas tree and a smell of cookies coming from a kitchen and a certain look in a girl's eyes that lights you up inside. That beautiful border between nightmare and morning when you realize that all of the monsters menacing you have evaporated like smoke, leaving behind only the warm blanket and the pale sunlight of a Saturday dawn. ~ David Wong
Wildfire quotes by David Wong
Once desire was turned on, combustion gave it a life of its own. Once it was turned on it became a raging wildfire, uncontrollable and uncontainable, the type of conflagration that had to be allowed to burn itself out. ~ Eric Jerome Dickey
Wildfire quotes by Eric Jerome Dickey
He was a boy in love with a wildfire. Or at least he thought he was ~ Sarah J. Maas
Wildfire quotes by Sarah J. Maas
Look at it!" George's voice shuddered with barely contained awe. "Look at it! Don't you want to experience it? Don't you want to be brave? You are not a gentle flower who spends its whole life in a greenhouse. You are a wildfire, Lark. A wildfire."
A sun burst on the images, its violent fury drowning the cosmos.
"Dare to take that step and I will show you wonders beyond your imagination. I will give you a chance to make a difference. Come with me." George offered his hand to her. "Live. Join me or not, but live, gods damn you, because I cannot stand the thought of you slowly aging here like some dusty fossil under glass. Take my hand and bring your sword. The universe is waiting. ~ Ilona Andrews
Wildfire quotes by Ilona Andrews
Because at that moment, with the press of Rahim's lips to hers, with the touch of his tongue sending wildfire through her veins, she knew she would always be home here.
With this boy. In this moment. In this time.
And that her heart would never be lonely again. ~ Renee Ahdieh
Wildfire quotes by Renee Ahdieh
Every time his lips meet mine, my whole body begins a slow tingle that starts from within in my chest, and spreads like a wildfire. ~ Alex Rosa
Wildfire quotes by Alex Rosa
Resentment is the little fire that can transform and destroy the world by becoming a wildfire. ~ Debasish Mridha
Wildfire quotes by Debasish Mridha
In the ferment of our civil societies, from which the guardian angels seem to depart, we see many every moment sliding at the brink. What anguishes are rankling in the lees of the soul, the heart-nipping unkindness of a man's friends, his defeated endeavours ! betwixt the birth and death of the mind, what swallowing seas, and storms of mortal miseries ! And when the wildfire is in the heart and he is made mad, the incontinent hands would wreak the harm upon his own head, to blot out the abhorred illusion of the world and the desolate remembrance of himself. Succoured in the forsaken hour, when his courage swerved, with the perfume of human kindness, he might have been to-day alive. Many have looked for consolation, in the imbecility of their souls, who found perhaps hardness of face and contra-diction ; they perished untimely in default of our humanity. ~ Charles M. Doughty
Wildfire quotes by Charles M. Doughty
A man who finds peace in the fume of his work is a man who knows himself and, therefore, knows what he must do. What is it that I would sacrifice myself to achieve? What is it that fills my lonely days and dowdy nights? What work consoles the soul? What action allows the brain to work at a fever, burn like an uncontrollable wildfire? What occupation, craft, or deed can I undertake that will embody a desire to share with other people my intellectual and emotional being? How does one express their worldly aspirations and spiritual yearnings? ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Wildfire quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
While devastation created by nature, such as wildfire, tornadoes, and hurricanes, can be far reaching and cause cataclysmic losses, the trauma that haunts our dreams and is the most feared is man-made. Acts of violence and depravity committed by one human being on another are personal in nature and leave those affected by them asking the questions, "Why did it happen to me?" or "Why did it have to happen at all?" With the advent of technology, the general public can view a new atrocity every day on the nightly news somewhere close to their community. ~ Karen Rodwill Solomon
Wildfire quotes by Karen Rodwill Solomon
How had she lived until now without knowing what a touch and a kiss could do, how it could consume a person like a wildfire consumed a forest, leaving nothing behind but a charred surface? ~ Tina Folsom
Wildfire quotes by Tina Folsom
The Man's rage is huge. Moil and toil and turmoil, he's coming to the boil, time to cool the heat with a jet of foam. He wants the woman to take off her clothes right away. So that she measures up to his size. He wants to conduct his lightning into her. Not that his wildfire could ever be tamed by her, and anyway he has plenty of matches. To create himself anew, as often as need be. ~ Elfriede Jelinek
Wildfire quotes by Elfriede Jelinek
She'd rather be a blazing wildfire than a dimming candle; always igniting the fire within her soul that could never be put out. ~ Kristin Michelle Elizabeth
Wildfire quotes by Kristin Michelle Elizabeth
In the Middle Ages, the troubadour poets invented the concept of courtly love
a fantasy love, a noble passion, which was also extra-marital and thus inevitably thwarted, illicit, adulterous. One of the medieval terms for it was amour honestus (honest love). I've always wondered why this passionate ideal
masochistic, spiritual-travelled with such wildfire throughout Europe. My poem, a ghazal, takes up the subject. ~ Edward Hirsch
Wildfire quotes by Edward Hirsch
In large groups of enclosed people who were not allowed out, infectious diseases spread like wildfire. For example, in the 1880s in a workhouse in Kent, it was found that in a child population of one hundred and fifty-four, only three children did not have tuberculosis. ~ Jennifer Worth
Wildfire quotes by Jennifer Worth
This girl wasn't like wildfire - she was wildfire . Deadly and uncontrollable. And slightly out of her wits. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Wildfire quotes by Sarah J. Maas
You only need one man to love you. But him to love you free like a wildfire, crazy like the moon, always like tomorrow, sudden like an inhale and overcoming like the tides. Only one man and all of this. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Wildfire quotes by C. JoyBell C.
The inward working of God's goodness tends to produce an uncontrollable wildfire when He takes the helm of clinical, religious sobriety - when He turns our water into wine. ~ John Crowder
Wildfire quotes by John Crowder
I like that you're jealous."
"Rogan, put the car back."
"Come to dinner with me tonight and I'll consider it."
Yes! "No. I don't negotiate with terrorists."
"If you don't go to dinner with me, I'll have to do something drastic like stand by your window with a boom box blasting some idiotically sappy song. ~ Ilona Andrews
Wildfire quotes by Ilona Andrews
I fear waking up one morning and finding out my life was all for nothing. We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. When you're kind to someone in trouble, you hope they remember and are kind to someone else and so on. Soon it will be like a wildfire ... ~ Whoopi Goldberg
Wildfire quotes by Whoopi Goldberg
Just because you are soft doesn't mean you are not a force. Honey and wildfire are both the colour gold. ~ Victoria Erickson
Wildfire quotes by Victoria Erickson
In the middle of the mayhem, you came and sang a song of melancholy. You promised a wildfire, but instead choked the light that was struggling hard for survival. Eventually when all the light went off. You left, complaining about the darkness. ~ Akshay Vasu
Wildfire quotes by Akshay Vasu
Sacrifices and resentments leave a woman standing on the edge, but she doesn't have the nerve to look down or jump. As a woman struggles through the days trying to soothe the hurt, but every time she turns around it spreads like wildfire. She is left alone in the middle of a crisis. As women, we ask ourselves over and over again, how long do I have to wait? When will the torture end? ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Wildfire quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Crazy Love
Anyone who knew me then would say I loved you far too much. Like a wildfire or the sharp edge of a knife.
Anyone would have told you I stopped being the person I was the second you walked into my life.
They would have said love wasn't supposed to drive you crazy, make you want to scratch at your skin.
And they were right.
Because there was love and then there was you. ~ Lang Leav, Sea Of Strangers
Wildfire quotes by Lang Leav, Sea Of Strangers
If any country was a mine-shaft canary for the reintroduction of cholera, it was Haiti - and we knew it. And in retrospect, more should have been done to prepare for cholera ... which can spread like wildfire in Haiti ... This was a big rebuke to all of us working in public health and health care in Haiti. ~ Paul Farmer
Wildfire quotes by Paul Farmer
Operation Pedro Pan
It was like a raging wildfire that the Radio Swan story spread throughout Cuba! Many affluent Cubans, convinced that their children would actually be sent to Moscow for political indoctrination, panicked and sent their children to Florida. In all, as many as 14,000 Cuban children were airlifted to Miami, under a program named "Operation Peter Pan." During the next two years, British Airways, under charter, flew many of the children to the United States by way of Kingston, Jamaica.
The unaccompanied children started arriving in Miami in October of 1960. They arrived in waves, with the children of the more affluent families coming first. Their parents trusted their friends and family in the United States to take care of their children. Since the Castro régime was having economic difficulties very few people thought that it would last as long as it did. Most of them still believed that Castro was just a passing phenomenon until a counter-revolution would depose him. ~ Hank Bracker
Wildfire quotes by Hank Bracker
a single person whose heart is aflame with the love of God can create a wildfire that spreads far and wide ~ Rudy Rasmus
Wildfire quotes by Rudy Rasmus
It doesn't matter whether I'm judged criminal. I have a great feeling of guilt - I have a feeling that I ran after Hitler like a wildfire without reason. If I can sacrifice my life to make something good, I'd gladly do it. ~ Hans Frank
Wildfire quotes by Hans Frank
Casinos are spreading like wildfire, and it seems to be an entertainment option that a significant number of people engage in. That's just the reality of gaming that it is proving to be attractive to a great number of people. ~ Ron Porter
Wildfire quotes by Ron Porter
Every person I ever knew or had come across always spoke about falling
in love with the rain. They dreamt of dancing in it like there is no tomorrow but I never heard someone speaking about falling in love with a wildfire. No, it is not for the weaker ones. The moment you fall in love with the wildfire, it starts burning everything that you have ever built or grown all these years around you. It changes the way you had always imagined and looked at how the love would be, making you end up homeless. It makes you a weakness intertwined with strength, a love intertwined with hatred. It makes you a puzzle that you yourself could never solve. ~ Akshay Vasu
Wildfire quotes by Akshay Vasu
There's a sort of dead passion in him. A spark that, had he more years to live, would be a wildfire. ~ Lauren DeStefano
Wildfire quotes by Lauren DeStefano
We should celebrate that many more women are reconfiguring feminism and that grassroots activism is spreading like wildfire and millions of women are waking up to the possibility of taking ownership of our world as fully-entitled human beings
How's can we argue with that? ~ Bernardine Evaristo
Wildfire quotes by Bernardine Evaristo
Three months before I met you, I was looking for the next thrill, the next party, the next girl. And then I walked in and found you perched in my kitchen like the most beautifully confident creature I'd ever seen, and I knew you'd be a wildfire. ~ R.S. Grey
Wildfire quotes by R.S. Grey
He led, and Ziri knew firsthand how his fearlessness spread like wildfire in the fray. It was what made him great. ~ Laini Taylor
Wildfire quotes by Laini Taylor
Sometimes love was sacred, the most holy and powerful force in the universe. Sometimes it was a warm, fuzzy feeling. Occasionally it was a wildfire of passion that, like cognac, inflamed every cell of your body.
And sometimes it was just a decision, plain and simple. ~ G.A. McKevett
Wildfire quotes by G.A. McKevett
The starlight, which seemed strangely bright tonight, wasn't starlight at all. Instead, Lucifer's demons had gathered high in the firmament above. It was their eyes that shone like stars through the wildfire smoke. ~ Lauren Kate
Wildfire quotes by Lauren Kate
Tucker snorts. "Sage is a fighter, it spreads over the land like wildfire, sucking up all the water, the nutrients in the earth, until everything else dies. It's a heart little plant, that I'll give it. But it's gray and ugly and ticks love to hide in it. You ever seen a tick?" He glances over at me. The look on my face must be pretty appalled because suddenly he gives and uncomfortable cough and says quietly, "Sage does have a nice smell. ~ Cynthia Hand
Wildfire quotes by Cynthia Hand
Arizona's forest fires are not waiting for April, and neither will we. That is why I am pushing for stepped up deployment for Hot Shot wildfire crews in March rather than April, in order to better prepare for the expected fires in northern Arizona. ~ Rick Renzi
Wildfire quotes by Rick Renzi
She lit wildfires inside my soul and fanned them with hurricanes. ~ Morris R. Gates
Wildfire quotes by Morris R. Gates
Speaking of welding torches... there's one heading our way!'

The Nursebot was not wrong. Coming for them with the calculated patience of a Grim Reaper on rollerblades was the greatest wildfire the trio had ever seen. Burning in a mischievous cobalt-blue flame that straightforwardly spelled "chemical fire", the all-consuming flames had cornered them by the unopenable hatch, within an inch of their lives.

'We're all going to die!' wined 22-8, cradling his coppery head. 'We're done for!'

'I thought you social robots were built with problem-solving code,' said Floater, hovering as close to the ceiling as possible.

'Yes, well. My problem-solving code took too much space on the disk,' said 22-8 morosely.

Floater shook his head in disbelief. 'So you deleted it? To make room for what?'

22-8 lowered his head and whispered something that sounded very much like "dank memes" before falling silent. ~ Louise Blackwick
Wildfire quotes by Louise Blackwick
I am not delicate.
I am skinny dipping at 2am;
I am dancing naked under the full moon and playing in the mud.
I am the reverberating echoes of a curse word ricocheting off the steeply sloping mountain you thought I couldn't climb;
I am bare skin in the deepest depths of winter; I am the song of courage, and the melody of freedom you long to sing.
I am a fearless mother.
I am a passionate lover; a devoted friend.
I am the healer, the witch, the nurturing of your wounds.
I am the heat of a wildfire, the rage of a storm.
I am strong.
Delicate things are pretty-cute, even.
But I am not delicate.
I am wild, fierce and unpredictable.
I am breathtaking.
I am beautiful.
I am sacred. ~ Brooke Hampton
Wildfire quotes by Brooke Hampton
It is known that wildfires behave unpredictably - this is fundamental - but it is my experience that humans in the presence of wildfire are also likely to behave in aberrant and unpredictable ways. ~ Michael Leunig
Wildfire quotes by Michael Leunig
The girl was alluring. Like wildfire, or a summer storm swept off the Gulf of Oro. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Wildfire quotes by Sarah J. Maas
Though the person could not see the potential lover's face or figure, the knowledge that the other person existed somewhere in the distance created lovely fantasies about the potential lover that spread like wildfire. ~ Liu Cixin
Wildfire quotes by Liu Cixin
some relationships feel like a wildfire-they're powerful and compelling and majestic and dangerous and have the capability to burn you before you even realize you've been consumed.....some relationships feel like a hearth fire-they're solid and stable and cozy and nourishing. ~ Jill Santopolo
Wildfire quotes by Jill Santopolo
Students want female teachers to be warm and nurturing. When they aren't, they get marked down across the board for being 'bitches." What's a bitch? A woman who acts like a confident guy. Women are also not allowed to be dry or funny. You can imagine how my Asperger's can go over. ~ Jessica Wildfire
Wildfire quotes by Jessica Wildfire
It troubled her much to see what a great flame a little wildfire was likely to kindle. ~ Thomas Hardy
Wildfire quotes by Thomas Hardy
Wildfire did not run through dry woods as fast as gossip ran through women. ~ Robert Jordan
Wildfire quotes by Robert Jordan
Protector and destroyer were two sides of the same coin. Who knew which one would come out in a toss-up? ~ Mina Khan
Wildfire quotes by Mina Khan
Love is like that. It's like a wildfire in my blood. ~ R.K. Lilley
Wildfire quotes by R.K. Lilley
Are you strange like me, are you insane? Are you the wildfire, that loves pouring rain... ~ J. Limbu
Wildfire quotes by J. Limbu
There is a grandeur in the uniformity of the mass. When a fashion, a dance, a song, a slogan or a joke sweeps like wildfire from one end of the continent to the other, and a hundred million people roar with laughter, sway their bodies in unison, hum one song or break forth in anger and denunciation, there is the overpowering feeling that in this country we have come nearer the brotherhood of man than ever before. ~ Eric Hoffer
Wildfire quotes by Eric Hoffer
When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like a wildfire. ~ Whoopi Goldberg
Wildfire quotes by Whoopi Goldberg
Bigotry ravashes the human spirt like the winds of wildfire. ~ Ronald P. Chavez
Wildfire quotes by Ronald P. Chavez
Biogenesis is in the first place psychogenesis. This truth was never more manifest than on Mars, where noosphere preceded biosphere-the layer of thought first enwrapping the silent planet from afar, inhabiting it with stories and plans and dreams, until the moment when John stepped out and said Here we are-from which point of ignition the green force spread like wildfire, until the whole planet was pulsing with viriditas. It was as if the planet itself had felt something missing, and at the tap of mind against rock, noosphere against lithosphere, the absent biosphere had sprung into the gap with the startling suddenness of a magician's paper flower ~ Kim Stanley Robinson
Wildfire quotes by Kim Stanley Robinson
In 2017, after the Hollywood producer, Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault scandal went viral, the #MeToo movement grew like wildfire. It triggered my trauma. Flashbacks of horrific injustice. Old memories resurfaced. ~ Dana Arcuri
Wildfire quotes by Dana Arcuri
The air was cool and fresh and smelled of the kelp and salt that streamed in off the bay at the full of the tide. The sun was high in the tender vault of the sky, and the thunderheads that would sweep in late in the day were still only white marble puffs at the margins of the sky, solid and silver-lined. There was a blue clarity about the horizon and the distant hills that spoke of a weather change but not for another day or two. Along the meadows' edges, as we drove past, I saw pink clover and purple lupine, hawkweed and wild daylilies. Brilliant pink wild azaleas, called lambkill here, flickered like wildfire in the birch groves. Daisies, buttercups, wild columbine, and the purple flags of wild iris starred the roadside. Behind them all was the eternal dark of the pines and firs and spruce thickets and, between those, the glittering indigo of the bay. ~ Anne Rivers Siddons
Wildfire quotes by Anne Rivers Siddons
The relevant measures are not ease and difficulty. The relevant measures are readiness and unreadiness. If the time isn't right for a new idea, no power on earth can make it catch on, but if the time is right, it will sweep the world like wildfire. ~ Daniel Quinn
Wildfire quotes by Daniel Quinn
Aelin of the Wildfire. Aelin Fireheart. Aelin Light-Bringer. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Wildfire quotes by Sarah J. Maas
When someone goes on a long journey, those who stay behind wish them the energy of a wildfire. The power to take things that try to hinder you --- wind, thrashing enemies --- and use them to make you stronger. The power to burn so brightly that all who look will wonder how darkness ever existed in the same world as you." She puts a hand on my shoulder, but her resolve breaks, her eyes glassy. "Scorch this world, Winter queen. ~ Sara Raasch
Wildfire quotes by Sara Raasch
Take your life back from what broke you. The past is meant to etch lessons into our bones, yet we huddle ourselves within the warmth of its familiarity, we cradle our bodies within its weighted grips because we allow for what broke us to build us. Promise me that you will never again run back to what cracked you, what fractured your heart, your mind, your soul. Promise me that you will no longer hand yourself over to the man or the woman who loved you like poison, that you will no longer give life to the experiences that haunt you like ghosts. Promise me that you will find what it is that will grow within you like wildfire and plant it within the depths of your scars. You will mend. Allow yourself to. ~ Bianca Sparacino
Wildfire quotes by Bianca Sparacino
That night, they spoke in hushed voices around the fire, almost expecting to see or hear something jump from the shadows. Gonjo had been spotted dancing on the railway station on last two consecutive nights. Such an innocuous act as dancing could surely have been ignored but the gravity of the matter lay in the chilling fact that Gonjo had died a week back. Those hushed voices were only adding more fuel to the fire, not the one which kept them warm, but the wildfire of ghostly hauntings by the Begunkodor railway station. What happened at the station this particular night, however, would clearly disabuse any misgivings towards the ghost of the dancing woman - Excerpt from the story 'Begunkodor Ghost Station ~ Manish Mahajan
Wildfire quotes by Manish Mahajan
Cornelius opened the car door and cautiously peered out.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Checking to see if it's safe to come out."
Everyone was a comedian. I sighed and went into my office. ~ Ilona Andrews
Wildfire quotes by Ilona Andrews
Never mistake complacence for the illusion of control. She is like wildfire, at once utterly beguiling and wholly untameable. ~ Lisa Mantchev
Wildfire quotes by Lisa Mantchev
Atheism is spreading like wildfire. ~ Ray Comfort
Wildfire quotes by Ray Comfort
The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Wildfire quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
What the sounds and smells do not divulge, gossip supplies. It spreads like wildfire in the neighborhood, where everyone is watching one another's morals. ~ Asne Seierstad
Wildfire quotes by Asne Seierstad
Then she ripped everything from that well inside her, ripped it out with both hands and her entire raging, hopeless heart.
As she fell, hair whipping her face, Celaena thrust her hands toward the skinwalkers.
"Surprise," she hissed. The world erupted in blue wildfire. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Wildfire quotes by Sarah J. Maas
I can't help but question how my spirited daughter could fix her choice, once again, on a tepid Larson male. Is your blood really so thin that it calls for such milk-warm companionship?"
Phoebe stopped in her tracks, while outrage raced through her like wildfire. "Henry was not tepid!"
"No," her father allowed, stopping to face her. "Henry did have one passion, and that was you. It's why I eventually consented to the marriage, despite knowing the burden you would have to shoulder. Edward Larson, however, has yet to evince any such depth of feeling."
"Well, he wouldn't in front of you," she said hotly. "He's private. And it was never a burden to take care of Henry."
"Darling child," he said softly, "the burden is what you're facing now. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Wildfire quotes by Lisa Kleypas
